Hulu’s Locke & Key Casts The Circle Star as Duncan Locke

Casting for Hulu’s upcoming Locke & Key is underway, and now the family has gotten a little bigger. According to Deadline, The Circle‘s Nate Corddry will play Duncan Locke, the Locke children’s uncle.

Corddry is best known for his role as Dan in James Ponsoldt’s techno-thriller The Circle. He is also known for playing Adam Branch on NBC’s short-lived Harry’s Law and Gabriel on the Chuck Lorre-helmed sitcom Mom. Corddry’s character Duncan plays an important role in the comic’s plot, possessing critical secrets about the nefarious goings-on in Lovecraft. Along with his boyfriend Brian Rogan, Duncan helps the Locke family settle into the family’s old home after the murder of his older brother Rendell.

Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez’s Locke & Key follows the macabre adventures of Tyler, Bode and Kinsey Locke in Lovecraft, Massachusetts. There, they discover a series of magical keys and are pursued by a demonic presence. Debuting in 2008 from IDW Publishing, the story was told over six story arcs and several one-shot issues. The series won an Eisner Award and earned several other distinctions.
